In the west of the Iowa Valley, there is a boundary river, and now the west side of the boundary river can be regarded as crowded with dozens of miles of joint camps, even the barbarian camp of the rand back then, compared to the joint camp on the bank of the river, the scale is also pitiful.

From the air, most of these camps are burrows, and kilometers of flat land have been destroyed by large rat holes, and only a few places have large tents like the barbarians, which can be said to stand out from the crowd of earth pits.

"I'm afraid there must be tens of thousands of rats in such a big area, right?" Agni sent a message to Rand, his tone full of worry.

"I don't think these rat people are going to break through the mountain pass, but what are they trying to do? For the sake of the orc royal court to die? In addition to being uneasy, Rand's heart was more puzzled, and he didn't understand the logic of the rat army.

Returning to the castle on the southern slope of Iowa, the subordinates who greeted Rand had already known the situation west of the Boundary River, and they all looked embarrassed, so that Rand had just arrived at the castle, and before he had time to pet the cat, he had to do mobilization work for them.

"I've seen those nezumi in Abedi, the average nezumi are shorter than Nila, and the biggest one is shorter than the hilt of a small knife," Lante took his own family as an example, waving his fist in high spirits, "Just that combat power, it doesn't matter if a large group comes, our knights' new armor is almost finished, if it is combined with the black scale horse, a large piece will be burned!" ”

Rand's words caused his subordinates to laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a little.

"My lord, will the other orc tribes take the opportunity to attack?" Petraeu was afraid that the orcs were a common whole.

"It's possible, but the probability is not high, they will definitely watch the battle of the rat people," Rand began to analyze based on what he saw and heard in the enemy camp, "These orc tribes have their own little ninety-nine, they will definitely preserve their combat power, and wait until the rat people break through the pass, and then take the opportunity to touch in, so what we really have to deal with is that large area of rat people." ”

The subordinates listened to Rant's analysis and nodded, in fact, bringing the idea of the orc tribe into the human nobles is completely established, all families are friends of the dead and not the idea of the poor, the most important thing in the war is to take the opportunity to make money and preserve strength, as for fighting with the opponent, it will only be a barbarian like Rand.

When his subordinates left one after another, Rand specially left Alf Fat, Nedland Wilson, who were already high-level knights, and the three high-ranking knights who had just arrived in the past two days: Petraeu Lanyuan, Bit White Owl and Waynes Lanyuan.

"How have you been training lately?" Rand said with a frown as he looked at the five high-ranking knights.

"My lord, according to your previous request, we have formed a pacesetter team in the past two days, all of which use the latest demonic armor, and the effect is quite good!" Petraeu, as the deputy head of the Order, answered on behalf of all the high-ranking knights.

The so-called pacesetter squad is an experimental team that combines the latest armor, formation, and combat ideas.

In Rand's opinion, the knights of this world should not be compared with the knights of their homeland: the combined height of the knight and the horse is about 3 meters, which is basically a human armored car, and the deployment of cavalry in this world is also very similar to the armored troops of his hometown, rather than the classical cavalry troops.

For example, the armored battalion in a certain area of my hometown, that is, 30 tanks and 20 armored vehicles, this scale is actually similar to the knights of the knights of the Maned Earl and the vassals, or a medium-sized barbarian tribe with a few small tribes nearby.

Since the idea is some kind of demonic armored force, it should start with strengthening protection and firepower, that is, pursuing magical strikes through demonic armor and collective tricks, rather than pure physical slashing.

With this idea in mind, Rand asked Wendy to take Sophia to reformulate the armor magic pattern of the Galloping Knights in the past few days, and took advantage of Tania to come back to ask her for advice a few days ago, and finally completed the production of 10 sets of armor and weapons recently.

At the end of March, Petraeu organized the knights of the pacesetter squad to conduct a debriefing exercise for Rand.

10 knights are on the east side of the southern slope of Iowa, lined up from east to west, their captain is just breaking through to an intermediate knight, riding a junior black-scaled horse, 4 of the remaining knights are junior knights, 5 are apprentices, and the war horses under the crotch are all level 0 monsters,

According to the training content of the day, the team first trotted a hundred and ten meters from north to south, and then began to accelerate, after reaching a certain speed, the captain tore open two scrolls, and the magic patterns on the demon beast horse changed, and the wind and fire elements continued to enrich around it, driving the level 0 black-scaled horse to also start accelerating, and then the other knights also tore the scroll, and the magic patterns on the armor, vest, and horse of the entire squad formed a subtle resonance, and the air was gradually ignited, forming a wall of fire more than ten meters high.

The knights raised their special carbines and activated the circle on the hilt of the guns, and the brightness of the wall of fire instantly increased, and a bright blade of flame was launched from the wall of fire, splitting the boulder in front of them in an instant.

The team's performance did not end, with the captain's command, all the knights launched their assault skills, and the entire wall of fire was launched like a cannonball with the help of the wind, flying forward for more than 50 meters, and the high-speed advance extremely compressed the air in front of the cavalry.

And the captain's and his junior demonic beast jumped directly, falling a hundred meters away in the form of a fireball, and at the moment of landing, the compressed air suddenly exploded, emitting a roar, and the shock wave shook around, until it was blocked by the wall of flames in front of the cavalry.

"When it comes to real combat, the other knights will compress the opposite side into a relatively concentrated area like iron bricks, and the captain will be like a hammer falling from the sky!" Petraeu explained.

"Very well, this is what the Knights of the Galloping Horse should look like," Rand patted his subordinates beside him, very satisfied. What he could be sure of was that if Count Maned Wolf had such a cavalry last winter, he would have had nothing to do with himself long ago.

Rand didn't want his knights to drown each other completely by relying on more people like last year, but he would have doubts about deploying the knights separately.

Now the knights are moving in a very good direction: combat power comes from the system of knights, monsters, demonic equipment and even logistics supply, among which the most important thing for knights is not force and rank, but the execution of team tactics.

"My Agni won't just be a mid-level Demonic Beast" Watching the pacesetter squad continue to practice, Rand said lightly, "My Knight Team Leader won't just be a high-level knight. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Petraeu and several senior knights swallowed their unconcealed reverie, if Agni Fire became a high-level demonic beast, then the mount level of the entire knight order would be further advanced, and the current more than 20 junior black-scaled horses would become more than 20 middle-level black-scaled horses, then I am afraid that every young black-scaled horse in the team would become a junior demonic beast. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"By the end of this year at the latest, I will be able to have a combat power comparable to that of the Dragon Knights,"
